Bidding in the 21st Annual Pawsibility Ball Auction is Open!

Bidding on our Silent Auction and Live Auction items and donating to our "Fund-a-Need" will be open to the public this week ahead of the Pawsibility Ball on Saturday, August 28th! We hope you will join us in support of animal rescue! Annually, our Pawsibility Ball is our largest fundraising event, bringing revenue that will help to save the lives of 2,500 animals rescued by the Humane Society of Summit County each year.

    Over 110 items are up for bid in our Silent and Live Auctions at pball2021.givesmart.com!

    Bidding on Silent Auction items will be open from Saturday, August 23 to Saturday, August 28 at 9pm.

    Bidding on Live Auction items will be open from Saturday, August 23 to Saturday, August 28 at 5pm. During the Pawsibility Ball Live Auction, bidding will be open only to Pawsibility Ball guests.
